title = "Analysis and 3D display of 30 MHz intravascular ultrasound images",
abstract = "Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has the intrinsic potential to visualize and quantify the full three-dimensional structure of the vessel with high resolution. A recently proposed subtraction technique [8] enables automatic contour extraction, a prerequisite for routine clinical use. This paper presents all image processing steps to come to a feasible procedure for 3D display and quantitative analysis. Segmentation takes place without user-interaction. An interactive presentation method is suggested in which the obtained information is visualized by using different techniques in one screen, thereby enabling fast extraction of relevant information from IVUS data in clinical routine. Transparent overlay of the segmented images over the original images in real-time mode, allows visual feedback already during the interventional procedure. A volumetric presentation of the lumen is generated, as well as quantitative parameters that characterize the vessel lumen.",
